On January 26, 2021 when I called, the guy said Eligibility is Recommended Pass.

Today when I called, the lady said it's In Progress.

Then when I mentioned that the status was previously Recommended pass, she said that it's still Recommended pass. I think that 'Recommended pass' is still technically 'In Progress', and depending on the agent on the phone, they may give different answers.
Recommended pass is given by junior case analyst/v.o; unless the senior officer looks into it and confirms, it will be still in progress.

Today my application completes 6 months so I decided to use it as a reason and give them a call, this time a much helpful agent told me the following updates of my file:

Eligibility: Recommended - Pass
Criminality: Passed
Security: Not started

He said that everything is looking good and now it's just a matter of waiting and that I should hear back from them. He also said that processing is taking longer because they are working with a limited number of officers.

The last update I had was from my last notes from Jan 11 where only Criminality was in progress, so that's good news.

Below update will delay Sep applications for sure. I don't know how that May date came to picture.I see from last 3 months, lot of July applicants got status but not May. Its defaulted by system or manually they mentioned date here. But overall, expect delays again

Canadian Experience Class applications
In the past 3 months, the majority (80%) of the applications we finalized were received during this period.

Canadian Experience Class applications
We’re working at full capacity to process applications.

You may experience delays because we have a backlog of applications due to COVID-19.

We’re currently finalizing most applications we received between
May 10 and 16, 2020


If your application is complex, it may take us longer to process it.

If your application is complex, it may take us longer to process it.
Look at the explaination for Complex situation - our security hasn't started even so that means it might take longer for all September 2020
  • background checks are still in progress for you or your family members

What is a complex permanent residence application?
If your application is complex, it may take us longer than normal processing times to process your application.
Your application may be more complex if:
  • the contact information on file (address, telephone, email) is outdated and we can’t contact you or a family member
  • we requested more documents and they weren’t submitted on time, or at all
  • your dependant(s) turned 18 since you applied
  • you added dependant(s) to your application since you applied
  • your dependant(s) got married and/or had children of their own since you applied
  • you provided legal documents to confirm a change to your marital status, or about child custody
  • you or your family member were asked to resubmit a medical exam because one expired (exams for every person must all be valid at the same time)
  • you or a family member were asked to appear for an interview
  • you or a family member might not be eligible
  • background checks are still in progress for you or your family members

My co worker noc code process engineer
Aor oct 15
Copr march 3

its crazy
I think it's really hard to tell now who will get processed. My bf is an outland CEC applicant - AOR Sept 8 and got the same long message people posted above today. He's reaching his 6-month mark next week but we're expecting delays again... Just hope for the best. Also even if they get CoPR they can't land right now, if I understand things correctly?

I am surprised people from June July Aout are still getting their applications processed. We are in for a long wait..I think most people will get verdicts towards end of April

Called IRCC today. AOR 9th September. Eligibility was recommend passed but now the agent confirmed that it is passed and you don't need any additional documents. I am just waiting for my criminality which is in progress and security not started but according to agent he said security is already started and we get it passed directly in your profile once it's done. I asked him why background check is taking long and he said we are running with half capacity and we have lots of application pending and he assure me that everything is perfect and you will hear something good end of this month. My file is still in Sydney and they will move it to local office when my processing is done. Is there anyone whose criminality is passed from Sydney office?

Finally talked with Agent, here is update:

Eligibility: Recommended Pass
Criminality: Passed
Info Sharing: Complete
Security: In Progress
Background: In Progress
Last Update on File: Feb 05,2021
Finished call with IRCC, new status is little weird;
Eligibility: Recommended Pass
Criminality: In Progress
Info Sharing: Complete
Security: Not Started
Background: In Progress
Last Update on File: Feb 05,2021

As per agent, today she mentioned that criminality is in progress, security not started but a month ago another agent mentioned that criminality was passed and security in progress, but both agents mentioned file was last accessed on Feb 5th, 2021.
Don't know which one is correct.
